Critters in Mexico

While we were traveling around Mexico in December we found some very interesting “critters”.

See if you know what this is?  I had never seen one of these little guys before and had to look it up when I got home.

His actions were somewhat like a cat.  He was very good at begging for food.

What a cute little guy.  He also reminded me of a raccoon….

The name of this little guy is a coati.  That was a new one for me.

Later that day we came across this flock or flamingos.  (Say that fast ten times! Flock of flamingos,  flock of flamingos…..)   I must have taken 40 photos of the flamingos.  But, I’ll spare you all 40 and just give you a few.

The colors of the flamingos against the green background was so beautiful.  Makes you think how fantastic these colors would look together in a quilt.

Have you ever watched a flamingo drink?  Well, I  never had.  It was captivating for me to watch how they dip their beak into the water, filling it with water.  You learn something new every day don’t you?  Me…I learn a lot more than one thing everyday.  And that is a good thing.

I’ll show you more critters in my next post.  Still to come are Iguanas, crocodiles and more.
